Set on a quiet lane in sought-after Cowlinge, this single-storey bungalow offers a compact, manageable home with genuine countryside views to front and rear. The property is freehold, chain-free and sits on a small plot with a good-sized enclosed rear lawn — a straightforward outside space for easy upkeep or modest landscaping.
Internally the layout is simple and practical: lounge, open-plan kitchen/diner, utility room, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The building benefits from double glazing and electric underfloor heating, but the interior needs modernisation throughout — fixtures and finishes are dated, there are signs of cracked ceiling and possible damp in the kitchen area, and bedroom two is very small. The accommodation totals approximately 501 sq ft, so expectations should be aligned to a compact bungalow rather than a larger family home.
This property will suit a buyer looking to downsize into a quiet village setting or an investor seeking a renovation project in a low-crime rural neighbourhood. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent. Note the public notice advising an offer has been made (listed at £200,000) and interested parties should be aware the sale is progressing subject to that offer; viewings are still possible while matters are under contract.
Practical positives include low council tax, recent construction date (2007–2011), and easy-maintenance gardens. Consider a survey to check the ceiling/damp indications and to confirm services and electrics before purchase; the property is sold as needing renovation and is best viewed with those works in mind.
